What are the best day trips from Portland? Thinking: Mount Hood/Lakes Around there Silver Falls Oregon Coast- either go to Seaside/Astoria or Newport
No hiking. Maybe very brief. More like drive into a parking lot, see a lake and take a selfie and jet to the next spot.
Take her to Astoria, the column, Fort Clatsop, shopping, beach, Ft Stevens Historical Site. It's a nice introduction to some of the beauty and history of Oregon. And easy selfies.
Yeah, we did a trip to Seaside last year, but we stopped at a lot of beaches, Haystack Rock, etc. Got too dark to get to Astoria. Wanted to show her the Peter Iredale.
